Two hundred and thirty nine chapters, the eternal truth
Chapter 239, The Eternal Truth
When You Fang raised his head, his expression was strange. Li Yongjun also quickly turned around. When he saw Xiang Yinghua, he stood up as if he had been caught for doing something wrong. He stood up and said in embarrassment: "Uncle Yinghua, you... are you here?
Mr. Rand is preparing dinner?"
Xiang Yinghua's expression was calm, and there was no sign of happiness or unhappiness. He walked into the room and said, "It's still pure lotus root starch. I'll eat these for today, and I can resume eating tomorrow."
Li Yongjun reached out and brushed his hair, and said with some twinkling: "Mr. Rand, please have dinner quickly. Yongjun won't disturb you, but if you have anything to do, feel free to come see me."
She hurriedly walked out, and You Fang said calmly: "Watch your step, be careful when going downstairs, the injury has not healed yet."
After Li Yongjun left, Xiang Yinghua didn't sit on the stool, but sat on the edge of the bed. He held the bowl of lotus root starch in his hand but didn't hand it over. His eyes were a little strange, and he lowered his long eyelashes and said quietly: "Li Yongjun is
A female cultivator, she is not Qi Ruoxue."
What do you mean? You Fang quickly explained: "Yinghua, you misunderstood, just now..."
"I saw it just now, and I didn't say I wouldn't let you explain. Let's eat first. Take a bite and say something. If you don't want to say anything, forget it." Xiang Yinghua handed the bowl over.
You Fang stretched out his hand to take it, but Xiang Yinghua held it firmly. He couldn't use his strength and of course he couldn't take it. He had to retract his hand angrily and let her feed him. He nodded at the same time and said: "I told you, if you don't tell me, you will be hungry."
Yeah, I was half asleep just now, and I found that I was holding a hand and someone was lying next to me. I thought it was you without even thinking about it, but I ended up misidentifying the person!"
Xiang Yinghua finally couldn't help but burst into laughter: "I know you got the wrong person, stop talking, it's delicious."
This scene reminded You Fang of when Xie Xiaoxian was hospitalized in Guangzhou and he had fed her like this. Now the scene had changed and the patient was himself, and Xiang Yinghua also fed him like this. He felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
After feeding, Xiang Yinghua was about to take the bowl out when You Fang suddenly said: "Yinghua, put the things down and sit down for a while. I have something to say to you."
Xiang Yinghua put the bowl on the bedside, looked slightly nervous, and asked uneasily: "What's the matter with you? Why are you so serious?"
You Fang took a deep breath, and when he exhaled it was like a slow and deep sigh, he said in a low and clear voice: "You should know very well that I am a wanderer."
Xiang Yinghua also lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers: "I know very well that you have always wanted to tell me this, right? I once wanted to know why, but after returning from Lianxin Bridge, I no longer wanted to
asked."
You Fang was about to speak but stopped: "You..."
Xiang Yinghua's head lowered lower and lower, and his hair spread from his shoulders to cover his cheeks: "You know my identity, and I will never leave Songhe Valley in this life... And I also know your identity, and you will never leave Songhe Valley in this life."
, it is destined to be difficult to rest in peace.”
You Fang was startled, and subconsciously looked at the door and said, "Can outsiders hear what I'm saying here?"
Xiang Yinghua: "Have you not looked at what is hanging on the wall in the past two days? As long as there is an expert above the spiritual pivot sitting in the room running his spiritual consciousness, it is impossible for the outside to hear the people inside talking."
In You Fang's ward, a circle of gourds was hung along the edge of the ceiling. It was his set of twenty-eight feng shui Yuanju gourds, which were arranged into a large Yuanju array. When speaking to Yinghua, he was already operating the array with his spiritual thoughts.
Isolated from internal and external sounds.
Seeing this scene, You Fang sat up and came closer and asked, "How did you know?"
Although Xiang Yinghua knew what he was saying, he was still slightly surprised when he heard You Fang speak like this, and said, "I guessed it, and it turned out to be true! - Are you the successor of Earth Master Liu Li?"
You Fang did not deny it, but just asked: "Who else knows about this matter?"
Xiang Yinghua: "No one else knows what I talked about when I talked to my second uncle, but the Wuchong faction that I want to deal with you may have guessed it... So I have been worried about what will happen to you.
As a result, it wasn’t long before I heard that something happened to you in the South China Sea.” At this point, her eyes turned red, and she continued intermittently: “The various sects of Jianghu Fengmen have just gone through an era of declining inheritance, and now they are facing such materialistic desires.
The world has undergone changes that have not happened in hundreds of years. Everything is no longer the same as before, and you actually want to inherit the earth master's mantle... I don't want to ask anything else, I just want to ask you one thing, and you must agree."
You Fang nodded silently.
Xiang Yinghua looked up at him, his face was as bright as the moonlight, but his eyes were watery: "Don't die, no matter what, you have to live. No matter what happens to you, as long as you are still in this world, we will cherish the time we spend together in this world.
.”
You Fang's expression was evasive, and he didn't even dare to look into her eyes: "Don't worry about me, I'm not a good person, but I'm not someone who can be plotted easily. Didn't I get through this dangerous situation?
?My master has encountered so many things in his life, and he is still alive and kicking when he is over a hundred years old. I don't dare to expect that he can still be so happy and practical at his age."
Xiang Yinghua, however, kept looking at him and did not look away: "Why don't you dare? If you have the state of combining spiritual thoughts with the secret method, it will last for a hundred years. It is very simple. You and I have it in this life.
I hope to break through this realm. Senior Liu Li was only a thin line back then, but unfortunately he was seriously injured and his skills were unable to return to their peak. I don't want you to suffer the same fate."
As she spoke, she leaned over gently, as softly as a cloud, and nestled against You Fang's injured chest. It seemed natural for the two of them to sleep next to each other last night. That was because You Fang was confused, but now he is completely awake.
, To hug or not to hug? Xiang Yinghua didn't let him think too much. He finally sighed and gently hugged her shoulders, saying softly: "Yinghua, I also want to ask you something."
Xiang Yinghua: "Say."
You Fang: "Go and invite Senior Brother Xiaoli here. I have something to say to him. Let me say it now...don't eavesdrop."
Xiang Yinghua's body stiffened slightly, and her face became a little unnatural. You Fang wanted to talk to her second uncle in private, and she was not allowed to overhear, so the matter to be discussed must be related to her. Could it be that she wanted to tell
Will the head of Songhe Valley clarify his relationship with her? Xiang Yinghua is now the inner hall elder of Songhe Valley, the number one master guarding the sect, in charge of the Tianji Formation, and in secular affairs, he is
The largest shareholder of Xiangjia Industry.
With her status, it is true that she cannot leave Songhe Valley. No one else in Songhe Valley can control what she wants to do, but she should understand that her words and deeds can affect the sect. The relationship between her and Melander
If something happens, the head of Songhe Valley should be aware of it.
"Now?" Xiang Yinghua's expression was not one of surprise, but of trepidation, like that of a little daughter.
You Fang knew that she had gone astray, so he gently helped her up and said, "Yes, right now, call your second uncle quickly."
Xiang Xiaoli came quickly, and Xiang Yinghua went out, gently closing the door. After Xiang Xiaoli sat down, he did not need to be reminded by Yu Fang, unfolded the consciousness movement formation to isolate internal and external sounds, and asked with a smile.
: "Brother Rand, I'd better call you brother first. Now you are the benefactor of all factions in the world. Your reputation in the world is unparalleled. You haven't recovered from your illness yet. What's the point of calling me here in a hurry? There's no need to do it now.
Let’s just talk, I’m still thinking of asking you to spend some time in Songhe Valley after the Xiaosha faction incident is over.”
What he said is right. You Fang is a sought-after piece of cake now. Who can have the influence he has now? Besides, he is still so young, highly cultivated and humble, and is popular all over the world. What will he do in the future?
Everything is very convenient and the future is limitless. It is of course the best thing to be able to make friends with him.
However, You Fang did not smile, and said with a sad face: "Senior brother Xiaoli, Songhegu and his party saw the whole process of cleaning up your family style, Rand was also very impressed. Between Yinghua and I, alas, I said
It’s not clear, but you’ve seen it, so you don’t understand.”
Xiang Xiaoli still laughed, with a very happy expression: "Although I don't say it, I know it in my heart. My niece does not have high vision, but looking at the world, there is probably no one else who can get married except you, and it is even rarer for you.
We hit it off at first sight. If this is the reason, then let's go to Songhe Valley to talk about it. Let's rest and recover for the next few days. Yinghua is willing to take care of you, so let her take care of you."
Seeing that he also misunderstood, You Fang could only cough and said: "Master Xiang, I came to you to tell you something else. Do you know how your eldest brother Xiang Zuohu died?"
This sentence was like a magical fixation. The smile on Xiang Xiaoli's face froze. He just sat there upright. It took him a long time to take a breath, stood up and saluted and asked: "Mr. Rand,
Do you know the whereabouts of my eldest brother? Xiaoli, please tell me!"
You Fang looked very tired, as if he was about to fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes. He stretched out his hand feebly and said: "To the leader, please sit down and talk. It's time for me to tell you what happened now, otherwise I will be really confused in my heart."
You Fang finally decided to tell the reason why Xiang Zuohu disappeared. The timing was very helpless and very clever. Although he was seriously injured and had no ability to fight back, he was not worried about what Xiang Xiaoli would do to him in the secret room. If
If anything happened to him at this moment, no one would have any doubt that it was Xiang Xiaoli who did it. The head of Songhe Valley would be the target of public criticism in the world.
He did not choose to tell it in front of everyone, but talked privately with Xiang Xiaoli, which had given Songhe Valley and the entire Xiang family the greatest face. It was impossible for the little wanderer to tell Xiang Zuohu about it, but now the situation
Things have changed. If he talks about the past, will the experts from various factions in Nanhai Fishing Village still hold him accountable for Songhe Valley? It’s already good that he is willing to let things go by the past!
…
Xiang Yinghua did not go back to her apartment, but wandered on the beach not far from the ward. Her heart was beating like two little rabbits. She didn't know why You Fang called her second uncle alone.
What on earth was the mysterious person talking about? When she went to invite her second uncle over just now, his second uncle kept looking at her and smiling. The smile was meaningful, and he said that after the matter in the Nanhai Fishing Village was settled, he must invite Mr. Rand.
Go to Songhe Valley and hang out for a while.
Of course, Xiang Yinghua has 10,000 wishes in her heart. Melander is in a very dangerous situation now and must recover from her injuries in a safe place. In her mind, where else is more suitable than Songhe Valley? Arriving at Songhe
Gu, she didn't know what would happen, but no matter what happened, maybe it was what she hoped for. She waited for a long time, but she didn't see her second uncle coming out. She couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but she secretly laughed that she shouldn't be too anxious.
…
You Fang finally told everything about what he had encountered at Badachu in Beijing and at the southern foot of Xiangshan Mountain. Since Xiang Xiaoli had already guessed that he was Liu Li's descendant, there was no need to hide his relationship with Liu Li. Finally, he said
"If you don't believe me, Master Xiang, your elder brother's personal magic weapon, the crane-wing bagpipe, is in the lake fifty steps ahead of Qingyanfang in the Summer Palace. Send someone to fish it out and you will know whether it is true or false."
After he finished speaking, he didn't say a word. He sat on the hospital bed and just looked at Xiang Xiaoli. Xiang Xiaoli's face was as unpredictable as the sky in June. He was sad, angry, ashamed and even a little scared. Xiang Zuohu was
His eldest brother is also the former head of Songhe Valley. This is a secret room. No one knows what they said or what happened?
Xiang Xiaoli clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white, and he didn't speak for a long time. His face turned red, but his eyes were closed, and a trace of tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes.
"Mr. Xiaoli, do you want to avenge your elder brother?" After a while, You Fang asked this question calmly.
When Xiang Xiaoli heard the words, he woke up from the silence as if he was electrocuted. He lowered his head without looking at You Fang, stood up and suddenly knelt down. You Fang quickly rolled out of bed, holding his elbows with both hands in an attempt to help him up.
But he was too weak to compete with Xiang Xiaoli, so he knelt down face to face.
"Mr. Rand, thank you for finally telling me, otherwise this will be a lifelong worry for me. I have known for a long time that my eldest brother had an accident. I understand his temper, but many of the things he did were only made clear to me after I took over as the leader.
I never expected that he would die at the hands of Earth Master Liu Li... Mr. Rand, can you make a request to me? For the sake of Songhe Valley, Yinghua and Fengmen comrades, you must agree to it.
!”
His tone was low, with a sound of suppressed sorrow, and the two of them held each other's arms as he spoke. If Xiang Xiaoli made any move, You Fang wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.
"The reason I'm telling you on this occasion is because I don't want anyone to know about it. Senior Brother Xiaoli, don't worry too much." You Fang replied calmly.
Xiang Xiaoli: "My eldest brother has been missing for a year, and there is no news at all. I also know that you are not willing to tell anyone at all. But my request does not stop there. This has also been Yinghua's lifelong concern, and even more so.
I, Songhegu, and the Xiang family are full of regrets. Although my request is too much, I ask Mr. Rand to agree, and Songhegu will be grateful to you!"
You Fang: "Senior brother Xiaoli, if you have anything to do, please stand up and speak slowly. He is already dead. I will try my best to do other things that I can do."
Xiang Xiaoli helped You Fang get up and sit down on the bed, and he also sat on the opposite side. His expression had basically returned to calm, and he slowly said: "Junior Brother Rand is willing to say it right now, so I don't dare to tell you.
No matter what, in fact, I wouldn't do anything to you in another situation. But to be honest, I really don't want to let this truth spread. It would be a shame for Songhe Valley. After all, my eldest brother's status is extraordinary."
You Fang nodded and said: "I promise you, no one will ever know. As for my master, that was what he meant at the beginning, so you have been tracing for so long, but you don't know what happened to the leader of Zuohu. This is for the sake of relaxation."
I thought about Hegu's rumors. But when I face Xiang Yinghua, you should know how I feel. There were some things that you might not understand as a bystander before, but you should know now."
Xiang Xiaoli shook his head: "This is not the solution after all. If my elder brother's whereabouts are unknown, Yinghua will not feel at ease for a day. What Xiaoli wants to ask of you is not only to bury the truth forever, but also to give my elder brother
one……"
At this point, he couldn't continue, but You Fang continued on his behalf: "Give me an explanation of the whereabouts of leader Xiang Zuohu, and a dignified and glorious ending. He will always be the pride of Songhe Valley, and will always be Xiang Yinghua's heart."
Is this what a good father is?"
Xiang Xiaoli nodded: "Mr. Rand is really smart, that's right. I know this sounds a bit ironic, and this request is a bit too much."
You Fang said flatly: "It's not too much at all. I can promise you, but what do you want me to do and how do you say it?"
Xiang Xiaoli muttered with a look of shame on his face: "The Wuchong faction once set up a trap to ambush Yinghua, and Yinghua almost lost his life with his skills. Then my elder brother noticed that the traitor was moving, followed him, but fell into a trap. After a while,
Unfortunately, he died in a bitter struggle. Mr. Rand tracked down the scum and finally found out the reason for my brother's disappearance... That's all I can think of. Mr. Rand, please take the right opportunity at the right time to speak out, over and over again.
I heard about it in Jianghu."
You Fang: "Okay, I'll do as you say. This opportunity is hard to find. You have to wait, but you will definitely wait. I will find out the whereabouts of Master Zuohu."
…
Xiang Yinghua waited uneasily for a long time, and finally saw Xiang Xiaoli coming downstairs. She hurriedly greeted him and said, "Second uncle, what did Rand talk to you about?"
Xiang Xiaoli looked at her, his expression seemed a little sad, and finally smiled: "Since you are not allowed to eavesdrop, why are you so anxious to inquire? There is something that my second uncle also wants to talk to you in private."
Xiang Yinghua's face suddenly turned red. He lowered his head and asked uneasily, "Second uncle is also busy. Where is Rand? Is he alone?"
Xiang Xiaoli: "Don't worry about him, there are people to take care of him."
Xiang Yinghua suddenly asked: "Is it Li Yongjun? Did he mention Li Yongjun?"
Xiang Xiaoli was stunned: "What's wrong with Li Yongjun? You didn't say anything about her. Mr. Rand asked me to invite Zhang Xi, and I asked the Xunluan disciples to stay vigil outside the ward today... Stop talking here, hurry up."
Come with me."
Xiang Xiaoli brought Xiang Yinghua to his residence, and Xiang Yinghua asked impatiently: "Second uncle, why are you so mysterious? What is the big deal?"
Xiang Xiaoli looked at the bracelet on her wrist and asked in a leisurely manner: "Yinghua, your second uncle knows your thoughts. Let me tell you the truth today. How do you feel about Mr. Rand?"
Xiang Yinghua lowered his head and said with a twisted expression: "Since it is clear, why do you ask, second uncle? I absolutely cannot leave Songhe Valley. As for the Taoist couple's affair, it has nothing to do with others. And he is the mantle of Earth Master Liu Li.
